Santa Girl (2019)

So bad, yet almost good? <em>'Santa Girl'</em> has all the hallmarks of a terrible, straight to ½* rating film. Yet, somehow, I kinda had a fine time watching it. It made me laugh a few times, I'm just not sure if I was laughing at it or with it. It does feature two of the worst pieces of FX I have ever seen: one involves the Tooth Fairy (yes, really) and the other involves a sports car. The cast are up-and-down. Barry Bostwick brings charm as (the surprisingly mostly absent) Santa Claus, while I genuinely found McKayla Witt's Pep enjoyable. Jennifer Stone is meh in the lead role, she has a couple of alright moments but is mostly underwhelming; same with Devon Werkheiser (Sam) and Joshua Cody (JR). Hank Stone is somewhat solid as Jack Frost. I don't know why, but I didn't dislike this at all. But it's also, most definitely, not good so... 2½*, which is actually a positive for this I'd say.
